kick aside 70-year-old alliances and this weird intersection between trading diplomacy. you can't see everything in zero some equation with your partners and woman yhom you trade. as the ambassador knows you are certainly likely to get in contact from those. >> jeh johnson tried to stop the reign from happening, shut down the border. there are not plans in place to do so as what "the washington post" reported. >> it seems like he puts himself out there by saying that mexico have started doing good things and dealing with immigration. hey since i have been talking about this, mexico have done better. >> we have talked about fruits and vegetables and things like that but the complexities of

cars, things will come to a halt. is. >> what economists say to thing to watch out for donald trump's presidency is how is the economy doing? >> we are ten-year into an expansion. what you don't want to do is exacerbate it. when a runner is running, you don't stick your foot out there. are you back? >> vhave a good afternoon. >> bye ali. nato is much stronger because of that progress. that's what president trump had to say of his contentious connection with the alliance. the president praised the alliance he once called obsolete when we met with the general in the office minutes ago. >> we are proud of what happened

the last couple of years with respect to the relationship and the nato. a lot of media does not understand what took place. a lot more money will be invested. the president talked about his relationship about his nato leaders to get members to spend 2% of gdp on defense. that's what these nato payments are. they are about spending on your own country's defense as a member of nato. the president asked of other issues including mexican border and healthcare and report mueller's repo report. let's begin with hans nichols at the white house. how much progress hans, let's put this of what the president's comment were into context of nato members fulfilling their

long ago agreed pond upon defen commitment. >> how strong the individual members are. and number two, those countries commitment to article five. on the first part, nation spending is up. the president mentioned 7 out of 28, their gdp is going up. where it potentially being weaken by president trump. the questioning of the united states commitment to article 5. the president just wants to focus on how much countries are spending on defense, let's listen to how he had to say. >> we have seven of the 28 countries are currently current and the rest are trying to catch up. they'll catch up and some of them have no problems because they have not been paying and they have been very rich. we are looking at the 2% gdp

level. at some point it is going to go higher than that and probably should be higher. >> under the president's metric is the german defense ministry wanted to spend billions of dollars on new spas for their defense department, that would be okay with the president. all he wants to do is see more domestic spending. that does not give you an indication unless you think well rested and germans have something to do with the strain of nato. that does not give you an i indication of how strong the alliance is. >> he seems to approached it in an interesting way. countries need to have a strong defense of them contributing the nato. this is something that presidents before donald trump have talked about. >> president obama and i was up

in parliament and once in ottawa, he said we need more canada. a lot of presidents want to have more defense spending. that number is a little corky though. so you take greece for example, greece has the second highest spending defense in the gdp. why is that? if you want to look at contributions and mission of afghanistan and training mission and iraq. there are other missions that you can use. the rhetoric matters. the president has been wishy-washy as to whether or not he believes in article 5. it is not controversial that countries should spend more on defense of nato. what's controversial is having it be the only metric. >> we'll continue on that conversation. joining us to continue that conversation about nato is someone who knows the alliance very well. our commander retired admiral

james. you are a military man. there is overlap here, right? there is one of those things where nato is not just from the defense perspective but larger in its parts because of the involvement that nato represents to its own people. >> it is absolutely right. it is the values set that really matters so democracy, liberty and feature and etcetera, it is the geography of the fact that it allows us to access into europe so we can operate in europe and africa. thirdly they have stood us with us and fought in afghanistan. i signed over 2,000 letters of condolences to young men and women who died in my command in afghanistan and a third of them to europeans. this value set is broader than a tally or a bill sheet that comes in at the end of the day.

let me make one other point of the nato budget that's important. let's do the number for one second. u.s. spends about $600 billion a year on defense. russia about $80 billion and china about $200 billion. how much do those free loading european spend? >> wow, more than china and europe. i will conclude all of that in one thing the president is right. they should raise their spending to that 2% goal. there is a symbolic value to that, that's important. collectively the alliance is much more and much more valuable. >> is there some fear and maybe it does exist in europe and that's why we are seeing these populace movement there. everybody got it and everyday understood why this was really important. is there a possibility that as

time goes by and as we live possibly more peaceful times that we don't recognize the value, particularly as americans. those condolence letters you sign as results of action and afghanistan also saw an article 5, that was the only time article 5 was invoked because of ner 9/11. >> you are absolutely correct. the only time nato members have died because of the 9/11 attack in the united states. nato 2.0 is concluding now, it is extensive out of areal pop realization and afghanistan and libya. nato 3.0 is more con seawall seawall -- consul dated and focus on the la vont but in the

sense of guarding the southern borders and look to the north to the arctic and lastly, nato 3.0 will have a significant cyber component. that's a rising threat to the eye license. you are seeing the emergent of a new nato 3.0 here at the 70th anniversary. that's why this alliance remains quite valuable. >> is it your sense that president trump's view of this has evolved and that he understands better than he did when he came into office of those first disasterous few trips with anyway dougnato. >> apparently he does, i am glad he sees it. he was talking seriously of nato, i am going to pull out of nato and free loading europeans. he comes into office and collide with reality. secretary mattis was helpful in

educating the president. his feview had morphed. i applaud that. i think he'll be a gracious host as the secretary general heads up to the vail. we'll put it in the win category, you can still hear a tone in the president's voice of that kind of conceskepticism th want to see him deliver. >> admiral james, it is great to see you. >> coming up, president trump promised on a vote that's not existence on the republican healthcare plan. he ordered a full dismantling of the affordable care act or obamacare. we'll hear from a trump supporter who's also at an obamacare survivor. you are watching msnbc. hing msnc

so it turns out the republican proclaim the republican would be the party of healthcare, he meant after the elections. the republicans are developing great healthcare plans in less premiums and deductibledeductib.

mitch mcconnell told politico, i look forward to see what the president is proposing and what he can work out with the speaker, chuck grassley, any sort of delivery of healthcare, reported no when the republicans were asked. i want to bring in caskasie hun he gijoins me now from capitol hill. >> reporter: that quote from chuck grassley was pretty starke and a summary of the situation. the headline that you read from mcconnell was an acknowledgment that was all possible. he was even clearer in his role today when he spoke to reporters a couple of minutes ago. it seems as though he has something to do with the president about face on this saying actually any vote on

healthcare is going to be put off until after the next election and he's going to be the one coming up with a plan. take a look at how mitch mcconnell addresses the question today. >> he did say and later tweeted that he accepted that. he would be developing a plan that he would take to the american people during the 2020 campaign and suggest that would be what he'll be advocating in a second term if there were a republican congress. we don't have a misunderstanding about that. >> if the court struck down aca, and there are no alternatives in congress, what happens then? > >> it is not any time soon. it is in the court's system, nobody lost a policy over it. there is no point of pushing a panic button. the court system takes a long

time to resolve the issue. >> in that conversation, ali, mcconnell did acknowledge he spoke at length with the president and made it clear what senate republicans were able to do. he used the phrase comprehensive health reform. that's simply off the table. he indicated he's opened on working on small fixes of drug prescription prices but there is no way revisiting the issue is going to be smart for them. he's punting questions on what would happen if in fact the affordable care act is struck down by courts leaving millions of people off of the exchanges and in limbo. he said that's too far off to talk about. that's still a major political risk that's hanging out there for republicans, ali. >> i want to switch gears onto the house oversight committee voted to issue a subpoena after the white house whistle blower said the trump administration turned over 25 security clearance denials.

what's the story there? >> reporter: this is a dramatic day in the hearing where they voted to send or authorize these subpoenas, this is of course of jared kushner, the highest profile of these 25 people whose civil servants have raised concerns about. those concerns were over written by the white house. we heard from the chairman elijah cummings speaking to our geoff bennett. >> this white house has made it clear. they are basically going to stone wall us. in other words, they seem to want to deny us information in order to prevent us from doing our job. now, we understand that there are at times legitimate argument

for not really seeing information. but, we have an unprecedented situation here. we have asked for information with regard to security clearances and the census. we have not gotten the things we need. >> so ali, i would underscore here that chairman cummings is first of all widely respected on both sides of the isle and is somebody that's focused on how the process is here on capitol hill are supposed to work. he does it by the book and you can see here that he's saying look, this is absolutely unprecedent unprecedented. he acknowledges why the white house did not give documents. i will also point out republicans have asked the white house for some documents when

they were running it a short month ago, they never received documents from the white house. this is in many ways to be expected because the white house would not need republicans, they would they give them up to democrats. this is going to be an escalating standoff here ali, as they try to investigate not just clearance of security issues but corruption abuse of power and etc. >> kasie hunt for us on capitol hill. >> thank you. >> i want to go back to the healthcare topic. the top policy priorities for 2019 ranked healthcare cost at number two. number one is the economy. a major part of why people are concerned about the economy so that they can have money to dp keep their family healthy. the economy and healthcare cause of 1 and 2, they are related. family insurance premiums have

skyrocketed. the premiums in 1999 was less than 15% of the median household income. in 2016, it was more than 30% of the median income. median is the point of which half of all americans earn more and half earned less. 30% of that when looking at all 50 states and d.c., west virginia has the fifth highest premiums as a share of household income. it has the largest portion. we find our rehema ellis. >> reporter: this healthcare is a huge issue for people here. this is a state that won overwhe overwhelmingly in favor of president trump. this is a west virginia health clinic. 45% of those folks are benefiting from obamacare.

some of them told us they are disappointed in terms of what the president is doing in terms of talking about getting rid of obamacare and something he campaigned on. we are talking to someone and a bunch of people on the program. i want to bring in donna reid, you were the receptionist here. your family benefited from obamacare and you voted for the president. what would you say to the president as we talk about the possibility of getting rid of obamacare? >> he really needs to have something better to replace it with and step into these people's shoes and see how they feel. >> even though this is one issue where you don't support, you do support the president but you don't support him on the way he's talking about healthcare? what would you say for the president? you have an opportunity to talk, what would you say to him in terms of how much people hear in this area that you hear on the phone everyday.

how much do they need healthcare? they need it extremely. he needs to step into their shoes and feel how they feel when they have no healthcare and they have to call and ask for stuff, it is like asking for a hand out. >> these are proud people here. >> how hard is it for them to say i need help? >> if you miss the first opportunity, you lose them most of the time. they won't call. >> what you are hearing people say, what is it? do they need some healthcare or dental or eye care? >> it is broad spectrum, they need everything. >> reporter: everything? >> yes, from mental health to dental work. >> reporter: and this area also has been hard hit by opioids. what are you hearing from people? do they have money to take care of their health issues regarding opioids? >> no, they don't have it. >> reporter: and you are clear about that. you are not saying well, some of them do or some of them don't. >> most of them do not. >> reporter: you serve people

who are uninsured and under insured. >> they work everyday. >> reporter: work everyday. >> most of them work everyday. >> reporter: they still don't have healthcare. >> some of them working more than one job. >> reporter: and still not affordable. is healthcare a political issue? >> it is not political at all, it is human rights. >> reporter: human rights? >> yeah. >> th >> reporter: you want them to be thinking about people and not just politics. donna reed, thank you very much. ali, back to you. not political at all. everybody you talk to today they voted differently in the election. they voted with an idea that healthcare is important and they want those issues solved. that got to be reflective of how things are in west virginia.

it really is, ali, it is interesting because on one hand you may think the people who voted for the president who campaigned on this issue would feel they can't continue to support him on this. donna said to me and others said to me that they support the president, they want him to hear what their issues are regarding hot healthcare. they don't think they can get you something involving politics. it is interesting when you hear any boots on the ground or a healthcare facility like this. people are looking for a system. donna said something that was very important. people here are proud people. when she answers that phone and people have to say to her, i can't afford my insulin or dental care or eye care. it is something that's very painful for them and yet they are grateful even though the president is talking about doing away with it. they are grateful that this is providing them healthcare services that they desperately need. >> it is one of the networks

across the country that people's primary healthcare stop. i don't know if healthcare is ever political. in every industrial country in the world is not partisan. all parties across the spectrum and people need improving but support the idea of universiall. thank you rehema ellis. >> up next, we are live in el paso, texas with mariann marianna atencio, we have thousand of people crossing everyday, keeping the border there booming. you are watching msnbc. there booming. you are watching msnbc your win. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. >> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal.

here is what president trump said moments ago. >> if we don't make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed 100%. it is going to have a big impact on the economy. it is one of the biggest trade deal of the world that we have just done. it is a big trading partner but

to me, trading is very important, the border is very important but security is what is most important. we have to have security. >> and in just the last hour, mitch mcconnell has weighed in on this topic. >> we certainly have a crisis at the border, the president is right about that. closing down the border would have catastrophic economic impact on our country, and i hope we would not be doing that. >> that's a master of under statement. we are going to talk about what this means, right? the amount of trade we do with mexico. let's talk about what it does to community right there at the u.s. border, joining me our marianne atencio. she has spent the morning

talking to owners. those areas around are dependant on border trade. >> reporter: absolutely, ali, when you talk about $1.7 billion in trade between mexico and the united states, it is here. this is the tenth busiest land port in the united states and every one here, their livelihoods depend on the fluidity between what is and el paso. what are people saying today on the hills of president trump doubling down on possibly closing the border. everyone is talking about it ali in both languages, it is all the chatter. are small business owners preparing for it? they're beginning to evaluate the consequences that this policy may have on the businesses and livelihoods. >> we had 50,000 last year.

32,000 of migrants of january 31. that's the crisis. we are dealing with symptoms of a root cause and that's in washington, d.c. for the nafaile on both sides of the isle and in of 30 year to deal with immigration reform. >> so ali, that was the mayor of el paso talking about influx of migrants in the area. what kind of number is he seeing? they're seeing a spike in the number of people coming here unlike they have ever seen before in recent years. that's like could be due to influx of people coming over. and the remainder mexico in policy which is in place in el paso and secretary neilson have

said anyway plan to expand to other cities. el paso could be ground zero of what the border could look like. marianne, thank you for your continued reporting at the border. china is changing its policy on synthetic opioid fentanyl. it is effectively banning it in the country. that's an important term you are going to know about in a second that are shipped to the united states. for those of you who don't know about this, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, it is manmade. it is 100 times more potent than morphine as a painkiller. more than 28,000 deaths involved

fen fentanyl. that's what's key to this whole thing. some critics are questioning chi china's ability or willingness to in force this. researchers at the corporation telling npr authorities already have problems and forcing existing laws so how they deal with this is going to be tricky. i want to bring in someone who saw it firsthand how these drugs are smuggled in the united states. joining me now is jacob o soboroff. >> are a vast majority of it is fentanyl. >> it is a illkiller. the move that china is making could be a very big deal. this is all interconnected and you will not be surprise to know.

listen to what the president is talking about today and at least moving resources away. the majority of fentafentanyl, only going to exacerbate. china is going to declare fentanyl substance. the same day he's going to take in ports of the rcountry. >> it is a compound. it is synthetic. >> or if you are not a chemist, right? >> what happens in china thas regulate the drug and someone will change the molecular profile of that drug. >> all they're doing is changing one element in that molecular kpou compound. it is different from the ones that china have outlawed the

problem. okay, here is this and we are going to test it and put it into the lab and talk to china or whatever it went down. and there will always be a new one right away because the labs are quick, they know how to exploit the law and people taking these drugs. you go online and you order it. it is easy to do. those drugs are sent directly to the u.s. >> what's interesting to china and fentanyl. china does not admit it is the source of the problem. it is going to do this but it refuted the united states's allegations that it is the problem. >> china has blamed for a long time fentanyl overdose. look, there is certainly capabilities and the fact china to manufacture and distribute the drug. india is also a source of

fentanyl coming into the united states illegally. >> you need to have the infrastructure to have laboratories and make this stuff. i will say if you get the different component parts of fentanyl. >> it is very illegal but it is not outlawed. >> they're just busy earning what you need to do to make the fentanyl. >> how long will it make it viral. >> jacob soboroff. it is good to see you, thank you for reporting this important issue. coming up next, vaughan hilliard is in reno where kamala harris is holding a campaign event, she's making a swing into the west coast. vaughan? >> reporter: hey we speculate whether joe biden is running or

chicago is about to make history by becoming the largest city in the united states to elect a black woman as mayor. former federal prosecutor laurie lightfoot and toni pre-k winkle. seven other women in cities,

succeed current mayor recaahm emanuel who decided not to seek another term. from chicago sun times, lynn, this is an interesting story. the election hasn't been completed and we know that an african-american is going to be the mayor of chicago. who are these candidates about to be catapulted onto the scene. >> thank you for asking. for the first time in a long time chicago's mayor will not be a well-known figure in a way -- larger than life super personality like rahm emanuel or in his own mayor daley who was a member of the dynasty. laurie lig-- lori lightfoot, to

preckwinkle. they share progressive values, programs, positions. but in this case toni preckwinkle, the boss. you all hear of the "times," machines it doesn't exist anymore ali, in totality, what does exist she's the boss of. that became a big issue in the campaign. >> let me ask you, becoming the mayor of chicago doesn't always seem like it's a prize. you know, if you go in strong and good and well prepared, that is something that can beat you up. what does the next mayor of chicago have to contend with? >> well, just in terms of policy, they have a bunch on the plate. crime, schools, wrestling with the pension, deciding even on

how the city council should be organized. dealing with corruption that has just hit our latest scandal in city hall. plus, what do you do with charter schools? what do you do with the public schools. these are mega issues but they also have to be dealt with at the same time as chicago is and should be retainingist position as a tourist mecca, a place where ceos want to locate businesses. and for those of you who have never been to chicago, it's a beautiful lakefront city with beaches and two ball teams. >> i spend as much time as i can. lynn, washington bureau chief of chicago sun times. today is equal payday. after decades of trying to raise equal way, we're no closer to a solution. there's quite a discrepancy in how women are paid. low wage, consider jobs less

than $11 an hour, comes out to about $22,880 annually, women make up 58% of the workforce comparatively. for high wage jobs or jobs that pay more than $48 per hour, roughly $100,000 annually, women make up only 35% of the workforce. so there's a lot of ways to calculate it. but any way you calculate it, women don't get paid as much as men for the same work. joining me with more on this, president and ceo of the national women's law center. fatima, great to see you. this is a strange discussion you and i have both been having for years in that there are still people out there who say it's either not a real thing or the market will fix it. it's a real thing and the market doesn't fix it. >> that's right. we still have some wage gap deniers who are out there saying it's not real, who are denying the census government data, but what we know is that this is an urgent problem. when we look over the course of a career for lat nas, it's over

a million dollars lost to the wage gap. that is money lost to themselves. >> a million dollars over the course of a woman's working life. >> that's right. over a 40-year career. it really highlights the wage gap is a problem in the present but it's a problem that follows people into retirement and one that hurts their families and really communities. so it's time to stop denying it and actually move to solutions. >> it's much bigger than an individual's personal loss, right? when you talk about the wage gap, that's one thing. then we have wealth gaps we can talk about between genders and ethnic groups. and the fact is if everybody in annette nick group or everybody in a gender earning less, communities are earning less and home values earning less. wealth doesn't get passed onto other generations. >> that's right. generation after generation. it's no accident black and brown women have the smallest amount of wealth. so there's this giant wealth gap. there's this giant wage gap.

the real question is what are employers going to do about it and what are policymakers going to do about it. >> we were talking, looking at research from institute for women's policy research and it says women earn less than men in all but two of the largest occupations for women. the gender wage gap among the 20 most common occupations is the largest for financial managers. so this is fascinating. even in women dominated fields, women still earn less than men do. >> that's right. whether they are in fields where it's mostly women or fields where there are only a handful of women, women still make less. so if you look at hundreds of occupations, women still make less. when you control for things like seniority, what state they live in, their education level, women still make less. so the wage gap denying isn't a strategy. the strategy is really looking at what employers can do differently and what policymakers can do to make it

so the next generation doesn't have this problem. >> 27% of americans are climate deniers. seems to me wage gap deniers are bigger groups. a survey monkey poll show 46% of men say the pay gap issue is made up to serve a political purpose. there's a piece of me that says anybody with a phone can establish this is true. anybody with a friend, who is a woman, can establish that had is true. do we spend any time discussing why 46% of men responded that way or do we mav to the fixes? >> i have been moving to the fixes, because what we have found in other polls is that men and women want to be paid fairly. men don't want their family members to make less. it's an extraordinarily popular issue. we've seen states move forward and improve their equal pay laws in ways that are bipartisan. last week the house of representatives passed the paycheck fairness act, and it was passed in a bipartisan way. i don't think it's a political issue, i just think it's a

family issue, a pocketbook issue and civil rights issue. >> fatima, there's so many ways to calculate this. sometimes when you calculate it you find out if you equalize the pay may be less than advertised numbers but the point is it should be zero. it's 2019. people with the same qualifications, same education entering the same job performing the same way should get the same amount of money. that should be agreed upon. there shouldn't be any actual dispute about that. >> there shouldn't be. but one of the things that happens is employers can pay women less because they can get away with it. pay is extremely secret. the way in which you invest it is really difficult. we don't have really the tools we need to have meaningful change. as long as that is the case, water going to have people paid less even when doing the same thing. >> fatima, what is the best answer to this? you just mentioned legislation that we're making movement on but some of this -- maybe it's all legislatable. is that the solution or is it

something else? >> a lot is legislation. there are tools. there's raising the minimum wage. we're going to see congress have an opportunity to do that. they haven't done it in over a decade. there's dealing with the caregiver penalty that mothers face. passing things like pregnancy accommodations and having paid family and medical leave. some of it is culture. we have to disrupt this actuality ral norm it is okay to ever pay women less simply because this is less. >> we don't do well on the paid family leave. we don't do ways of supporting women who have children. we still in some quarters think of that as a women's issue. fatima goss graves is ceo of women's law center. that's a close for me. i'll see you at 11:00 eastern for the eleventh hour. find me on social media, twitter, facebook, linkedin,
